preglow: Really simple checksums for each file, and when you do a Forced Rescan, it compares them, and if they've changed it then updates the tags in the database? So, while changed tags aren't detected on the quick rescan, they can be on a forced one without it taking 6 hours?

enzyme: For example, there's also the Doom patch, which will be in CVS, but that was done almost entirely by one person who wanted Doom on his iRiver. You could have video on your 5G if you were determined enough, as well.

Bagder, I have the latest version of the doom code on the tracker. It compiles cleanly for the sim and H300, I think it's ready for cvs unless anyone has any other problems that need to be resolved before inclusion

Bg3r: Imho the 'extendable action translation' idea was the best one so far. It allows to continue using switch() in the individual event loops, and these switch()es may even get smaller if the action values are close to each other, because then gcc starts using jumptables

For targets with constant button assignments, the core translator would do all the work. For iriver, we would have 3 additional translators. Plugging a remote would register the appropriate translator for the remote type plugged in

amiconn, there should be like.. MENU_UP and VALUE_UP.. that's the only time i think they'll be different. you want to scroll back to go up in a menu, but to change something, scrolling back should decrease.. or something.

ok, i must be just plain stupid or something.. i copied the yuv_bitmap_part() and MYLCD_UPDATE() stuff from the scroll code, so at the very worst it should show get rid of the splash and scroll a bit.. but nothing happens :'(

OK. I was just responding to a thread on Mistic River about shuffling the contents of the drive without first building a playlist, and was wondering if dircache could be adapted to, for example, maintain an up-to-date root.m3u playlist.

Howdy. Question for the Rockbox developers: does the rockbin.bin file for iPods have a unique signature in the first 512 bytes? I like to improve the new iPodLoader2 to detect those images automatically. Please reply to me privately or into #ipodlinux-dev, i do not monitor this channels. Thanks.

Nick amiconn_is now known as amiconn (n=jens@rockbox/developer/amiconn)

tempel: Rockbox _does_ have a single ID string. You need to set a variable (once, at the start of your loader) to contain the ID string for the model you are running on, and then you can check for that _single_ string.

linuxstb - right, but then i can't give the user a good error message. then i can only say: invalid file. if i knew it's a rb file but the id does not match, i can say: "wrong rockbox bversion for this ipod"

aliask: I think that moving all the attachments will be a nightmare - AFAIK, you need to click on "Attach" at the bottom of the page, and then the "manage" link next to the file. then the "move attachment" link at the bottom of that page. About 200 times....

I like the idea of a theme contest, with a requirement that the theme have versions for all bitmapped screens. (I'm not really sure what you do for WPS on archos player, other than different variations of alternating text....)

Of course, any entry that meets the criteria could be included in the release anyway. But hopefully a competition with a prize - being the default theme - could generate more WPSs which work on all targets.

webguest13: My personal concern is with the people who think it's not working because their screen just shows the really basic text. I fielded a lot of that question in the iPod forum 'fore the FAQ link was stickied there.

Ok, I've split the WpsGallery page, but it's far from finished, the H300, iPod and iAudio pages have all got broken links, but I need sleep. I can either fix it at school tomorrow at some point if no one fixes it before then HINT HINT. :)

Hi there! I was thinking about this, this morning, and I'd like to know your opinion. Would it be possible to use target definitions in the wps code? This would allow us to load different font sizes or even different sized bmps and so on... for every target.

at least i would like to add the eeprom routine to the bootloader to set a flag if the disk is dirty. only issue is to find a correct location in eeprom so that it wont affect the iriver firmware in any way

t0mas, I don't think we should be compensating for bugs in other people's software in general. But I'm happy for people to have different opinions and I'm not suggesting the removal of crossfade. Too many people like it. I just only like my music to be mixed when it's done by a DJ.

hmm. There's obviously something I'm not getting here. So stereo width gives the impression of wider or nearer speakers by mixing the left and right channels immediately. Crossfeed gives a more "authentic" stereo effect by taking the channel values for delta time ago and mixing that with the current L/R values, giving a sort of echo effect?

Cassandra: it models the path of the sound from the speakers to the ear, the sound from left speaker to left ear arrives at t = 0, the sound from left speaker to right ear travels a slightly longer path, so is delayed by a factor depending on the diameter of the head. also, the head attenuates the sound a bit on a complex fashion (which we simplify quite a bit), so we apply some filtering to that path

I've just checked the latest patch, and it compiles cleanly for both the H300 and H300 sim, so I think it's ready to commit (for the h300 only). We can then enable builds for other targets as and when they are working.

I tried following the instructions to rebuild my itunes database so I could listen in the ipod firmware as well, but it cant find the files (i.e. it just instantly cycles through all the songs in my playlist, like foo_pod pointed to the wrong place.)

Slasheri: The problem with using get_metadata() to infer the track number is that get_metadata() only knows about a single track. The track number could be inferred from that file's alphabetical position in its directory.

linuxstb and about what you said earlier : it indeed doesn't need any extra memory, but the copying to the WPS image buffer needs to be done at another place... currently it gets done several times per track change and maybe a bit too late

huhh man i thought ive crashed my x5... some files could not be extracted, so rockbox wont boot, so i wanted to flash back by connecting the x5 to the host port, but he turn off every time because he wanted to load rockbox, the ive tried it over the subpack and it worked
